[isofilez]

has anyone found a motherboard for the p4 with 533mhz fsb that supports rambus pc1066 and 8x agp? ive been searching hi and low and only thing ive come up with is teh SiS R658 chipset motherboard, but i dont think thats even available yet. can anyone shed some info as to if any boards with these specs exist or detailed info on teh SiS R658 chipset motherboard and its release date.

thanks!

I think the SiS chipset is the only one that will fit the bill for ya.

I think intel said the 850 is there last desktop rambus chipset. BUT SiS said they will make at least one or two to take its place.

any idea as to when the SiS R658 chipset will be available?

This is all I could find for a date.. Not that one guys speculation is really any help... Here is a full description of the chipset.

I doubt that the board will be released at all to the public because even Intel is backing out of the Rambus scene. However, the 850-based boards do perform slightly better in most of the benchies I've seen but I'd stick it out and get the dual DDR chip... unless you already have some RDRAM.

8X AGP is no reason to buy anything...
